City Distance

without state parameters:

//cityDistance(city1, city2, unit(optional), state1(optional), state2(optional)) 
//units: 'M' for miles, 'K' for kilometers, 'N' for nautical miles

//state2:state for city2 abbreviation e.g. 'FL','fl' etc. 
let cityDistance = zipCodeData.cityDistance('miami lakes', 'los angeles', 'M'); //distance between Miami Lakes  and Los Angeles 
//result array with 2 objects because there are two cities named "los angeles" one in Texas and one in California.
[ { place1: { city: 'Miami Lakes', state: 'FL', zipcode: [ '33014', '33016', '33018' ] },
